Description
Hi, I'm Simon. I'm originally from a little town in the north east of England but I've been living in Edinburgh for the past year or so. I'm beginning some postgraduate study in September but before then I'm really excited to travel and experience other cultures and ways of living, and most of all spend lots of time outside and in nature!
I really enjoy being active so I'm keen to help out with any manual labour, gardening and food production, especially in beautiful places and with lovely people. It's also always a bonus if animals are involved! Outside of helping out I also love to get outside through running, hiking and climbing.
I'm looking to travel and meet people mostly in Spain this spring and summer, and hopefully brush up on my quite beginner level Spanish.

More details about your skills
I'm a bit of a jack of all trades and always keen to lend a hand and learn new skills!
Specifically I'm a trained biologist but through my day to day life I have skills including bike maintenance/repair, cat and dog care, volunteering with groups of young people, food preparation, bartending, and I'm always happy to get stuck in with manual labour, especially if it's outside.
